      abstract = {Although our heads are full of simple selfish biases that  evolved to help our ancestors survive, modern human beings  are anything but simple and selfish cavemen. Kenrick argues  that simple and selfish mental mechanisms we inherited from  our ancestors ultimately give rise to the multifaceted  social lives that we humans lead today, and to the most  positive features of humanity, including generosity,  artistic creativity, love, and familial bonds. And out of  those simple mechanisms emerge all the complexities of  society, including international conflicts and global  economic markets. By exploring the nuance of social  psychology and the surprising results of his own research,  Kenrick offers a detailed picture of what makes us caring,  creative, and complex--that is, fully human.},
